Videos like this one are why Darrell's Guitar Channel is my favorite, absolutely fantastic lessons like these! I consider him as much of a teacher as the one I study with on a weekly basis.
I couldn’t agree more!!!
Pinched harmonics; also known as the "accidental harmonics"
Ba ha ha ha!!
I'm an accidental human, pretty sure it started with some pinching too
LOL
Facts.
not in Death metal lol
Artificial and tapped are the 2 ive been trying to figure forever! This helped a lot.
Glad to help!
Me too man. This vid is a blessing for me as well
I always wondered what the heck was up with that 12 frets ahead finger tapping harmonic pitch thing myself. Glad to have learnt how it is done!

Darrell Braun Guitar thank you so much! Well produced and straight to the point. I will incorporate some of these into my style.
I love it so much when people put timestamps in the comments or description, it's super convenient. Thank you.
All i get is the soumd you get when strings are muted
@@jamesstewart3941 try increasing your gain and they work better on neck pick up, with tone knob at max treble setting.
Also, if you have a wah pedal, open it up 😁👍
Darrell... I have been playing self-taught guitar for 15 years... I always tried to do those "touch/tapped" harmonics to play Deep Purple's Sometimes I feel like screaming and I thought my pickups just sucked because I could never make them sound the same... I didn't know you had to pluck the string at the same time as your index hovers over the note 12 frets above the fretting hand... nobody had explained this as good as you... thank you!
Don't feel bad - We've ll been there! BTW, When was the last time you heard Ritchie play a harmonic? 😏
ª
That’s a reallllyyyy nice guitar. I love the tele shape but the complete non telecaster vibe it gives
It's cool to see the Tele evolve and move away from being just a twang machine.
Same.
It is a custom made 10s guitar for him
The strings are so close to the fretboard it's absolutely insane
What a great lesson. I have been baffled by how you you play artificial harmonics. As old and experienced as I am, I never considered using my thumb to play behind the harmonic note! Embarrassing? Yes, but it proved you are never to old to learn. Thanks so much Darrell.
kevin
haha same
If you don't have any thumbnail you can change how you're holding the pick so your thumb extends out to tap the note and the pick sits near the base of your thumb
This guy can't go wrong with content. Super helpful channel. Keep it up man!
Thanks SJ!
I’ve been playing guitar for 35 years, and I know (and do) all of these harmonics, but it’s great to see someone teaching these techniques. Not to mention this guy is an awesome teacher/youtuber. But the great thing is that even someone like me can pick up on other people’s styles and techniques. I learned a different way to do pinch harmonics! I pinch from my index, as Darrell rolls to his thumb. I’m going to give this technique a try. You’re never to old to learn, and you will never be so good that you can’t pick stuff up from even “beginners”. Great video!
0:33 Sounded like the Holy Wars solo
Good stuff Darrell. Your teaching style is Very easy to understand. God bless 🎸👍😎
Agreed. Simple n easy to understand. Not overly verbose, dragged on, over technical, or bad camera view, the pains of other tutorials out there🙈
I'm so thankful for this lesson! I tried to play artificial and pinched harmonics my whole life and couldn't find out how to do it correctly. Big thumbs up from Germany!
Thanks Darrell. Nice video for combining all the different harmonic types which can be played on a guitar. If I may be so bold, I would like to add a couple of things which might be confusing for less experienced players. First, when he mentions "floating" over the string, you do have to actually lightly touch the string with your finger; it's just that you're not "fretting" the string by pressing it down until it touches the frets. Also, once the string is picked, plucked, or tapped, you must remove your finger(s) from the strings quickly, other wise you will mute the harmonic and it won't ring out and sustain.
I've seen u do these so flawlessly but I can never remember where the right spots are for harmonics. Especially the tap harmonics.
This is not the lesson we deserve, but it's the lesson we need Darrell
For those artificial harmonics (also works for naturals) as a classical player, I can say that there is a trick to make them sound much louder and it works on any type of guitar. As soon as you hit the string with you thumb (or pick) do a quick pull-off kind of move and move away your finger from the fret.
ARTIFICIAL HARMONICS ARE INCREDIBLEEEE A WHOLE NEW WORLD
Darrell, thank you for taking the mystery out of harmonics for me in a very practical, illustrative way. Appreciate you and your channel!
Darrell's explanation of creating harmonics is the simplest I've ever encountered. I've never quite been able to make harmonics sound good. Until now. Thank you!
You did it again, Darrell! Another outstanding comprehensive lesson, you're a great teacher and make us all improve!
One of the best videos I have seen on guitar lessons so far. You've covered harmonics beautifully. Thank you for teaching us.
Ahhh really cool lesson! Especially the Tapped harmonics, which I am currently in a rut on. Great work and content as always!
Perfect guitar tutorial.... No intros, just the lesson i understand clearly.... I don't know but I see in your eyes that you're a good person...
Dude that tap harmonic riff.. beautiful.
Love this lesson, Darrell! By far, you are one of the most clear and understandable individuals to explain this technique!
Thanks TT!
'Roll into it' on Pinched Harmonics helped me a great deal, Ive literally been trying harmonics for years, and no one has ever mentioned that you need to 'roll into it' with your thumb, such great advice, thanks very much
You're the best! Playing harmonics on a fretless bass makes fun as well.
I’ve said it before. Darrell has a natural ability of explaining things that is so easy to understand and follow. Darrell thank you again for this amazing tutorial. Keep up the great work and may you prosper 👍
You are such a great teacher. You always have useful content to help people improve, and to better understand the techniques being-applied.
Darrell, I wanted to thank you for the pinch harmonics tip. I've played guitar for 18 years but only over the past 2 years started to focus on becoming more technically better. I can now hit pinches more frequently after watching this video a single time. I really appreciate your work.
the key to harmonics is that you're cutting the string down into different frequencies. That is why there are dots on the fretboard, because the strings break down at those points and produce those different frequencies. When you cut the string in half, like a natural harmonic on the 12th fret, it produces the same note at a different frequency and tone, making it sound cool. So when you do artificial and are outlining the chord, you're just cutting the string in half at different points because you've functionally moved the nut up say two frets like on the Am chord. It helps with tapped harmonics too, if you're playing an Am pentatonic scale and want to do a tapped harmonic, use the 17th and 19th fret markers. At those frets it cuts the string in half (5th fret + 12 frets = 17th fret)
EVH used them all very intricately and gracefully always with a smile.
Great tutorial!! Loved how you explained and simplified things, great camera angles for nice and close views especially when showing pinched harmonics and touching the string with the side of your thumb. Many thanks! Will have to check out your other videos as well!
Darrell's videos are the best - no waffle - straight to the point. :)
Darrell you are very creative even in your videos, presentations and just very helpful for guitarists, guitar teachers. Brilliant and superb. I am your fan boss!
Practical lesson and good teacher, thank you Darrell!
Thank you so much for sharing your techniques and practice routines. Adding this to my practice.
Thanks Darrel one of the best and broadest video on tapping, let’s try it out! You are amazing
How helpful is this video! Always needed to learn about Harmonics. Thanks again Darrell.
you're the best , Darrell, you just helped me learn something new, in an awesome, simple and effective way
Fantastic video! I felt that each technique was explained very well, and more importantly, very easily. Thanks you.
Great stuff Darrell. Thanks so much for posting this.
I mastered these in a few minutes thanks to you. Simple and concise vids man!
Best explanation of harmonics I’ve seen on UA-cam so far, thanks man.
Another fabulous video Darrell!
I thought I played the guitar for so many years but I just learned 2 new harmonics techniques and it opened a new window. I’m indebted ! Thank you.
Great lesson I have been trying to do this for years you have shown these techniques really well and I am going to have a lot of fun with this.👍😊
You are the man, Darrell!
Straight to the point and so clear. Bless you! Xxx
Thank you for the video. I could never really do pinches, but your rolling technique really works for me!! Awesome stuff.
Beautiful explained and demonstrated. Superb lesson and video tutorial.
You just made my day! Thanks Darrel!
Awesome tutorial again. Watched other lessons about pinched harmonics but got it within 10 mins after watching this one. Thanks DBG
I want to thank you for this tutorial even before I watch! I’ve been looking for this for some time. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Glad to help!
Excellent Lessons Darrell.
This is the reason I don’t miss your videos
Always good and excellent material
Looking forward to buy the tabs sheet
Plenty of people have tried to explain that stuff to me. Yours is the first explanation I understood.
Straight to the point
Simple yet effective

Awesome video!! I have been butchering the guitar for 30 some years and a couple of years ago I decided I was better at working on the gear than playing the guitar itself (I work on tube amps) This actually makes me want to start playing again!! Thanks!!
What a great lesson this is! Thanks Darrell!!
Glad to help!
The best and most soothing voice 😭😭
Cool🎸. Clear harmonic lesson . . thank you.🎶
This is THE best video I’ve watched. It explained everything so well. I just couldn’t get the pinch and this video basically spelled it out for me and now I got it THANKS
Loved this video Darrell
Thanks Darrell! I've been watching you sneak those waykool overtones (harmonics) for awhile... great basic theory lesson!
Im happy that i figure out that natural and artificial harmonics while im on a journey playing guitar.
But this video gives me more knowledge about those and other harmonics style, thx sir
I’ve been trying all day and I finally am starting to get it 🎉
I saw on a video a guy performing artificial and I didnt know what was it. Now thanks to you i got it. Always thought that pinched and artificial were quite the same, I was totally wrong.
thanks for this video lesson, really needed it ❤
Thank you! I’m learning on an old classical guitar and saving up for a strat, so this is perfect :)
thanks for this video! the "rolling off" technique for pinch harmonics got me to finally figure it out!
This is absolutely brilliant
He’s one of the best guitarists around! I loved this lesson!
As always...….INCREDIBLE, Thank you !
You make this look so easy!
I am so glad you did this, I can do natural because of you pointing out to do it over the fret, that’s what I was doing wrong, so thanks Darrell! It’s cool to see you using your custom t shaped guitar for the video too!
Glad to help!
The video is so informative and useful ...
Thank you so much 😊
Keep up the great work !!
That last part of the harmonic lesson was FUNKY! This was a very good lesson on harmonics, others talk about it but don't show you. Thanks!
I used to see Lenny Breau play here in Maine. Maybe 10-12 times. Got fairly friendly with him and he'd sit with us at the table during breaks. He was playing his 7 string and one time put it in my lap. Showed me how to play artificial harmonics right there. Pretty cool. Listen to him. He knew a thing or two about them. Absolutely awesome player who made it look so simple. Love your vids.
Thanks a lot! Very informative and concise
Great stuff, just what I was looking for! Thank you.
Great video, playing and teaching! Thank you
You are the first to show how to do natural harmonics. Because of this I have subscribed to your channel.
Thanks man this is awesome. Learned a lot it really helps me get the trick.
Just great information well presented and explained. Thanks
So helpful Darrell... thank you!
Thanks. Other videos didn't really help. I finally understood with this.
Awesome content. Thank you very much. I knew about natural and pinched harmonics but hadn't heard of artificial harmonics when I think about it theoretically though it makes perfect sense.
I just learned a few new tricks!! Thanks!!
Great lesson. Been playing for over 10 but never quite figured out Artificial Harmonics. But you made it so easy and understandable
I love your voice. It’s so easy to listen to
It’s really awesome! Thank you! Great lesson
very useful. you share everything very detail. good job sir
As always Darrell ........Awesome Lessons ! All The Very Best Wishes From Central Coast Australia, Keep up The Great Work !
Awesome!
The man himself
Amazing video, amazing teacher thank you.
Awesome tutorial! Like the AT AT in the background!😇😎🎸🎸🍺🍺
Thank you and very well explained!
Ooooooohhhhhhh. The pinch one. Is like magic. I've been trying to figure it out and can't make sense of it. Thank you!
I came to learn pinch harmonics so I could play 4 words to choke upon by BFMV, decided to watch the whole video and had a blast learning and playing these, thanks a lot, really helped me out
This was so helpful dude. Thank you.
Love your lessons sir, headed over to the store now to purchase some tabs, thank you!
